Sun, 18 Feb 2018 21:37:23 +0000http://politics.my605.com/?p=492#comment-400I’ve a degree in wildlife biology from years ago. unless recent research has shown things have changed:
pheasants have been here since 1912, I don’t think we can “improve” on their long established genetics.
releasing birds that are NOT adapted to an area is not helpful. the wild birds are not EXTINCT!
predator control is usually a waste of time and money. In addition, HOW, humanely?
yes, habitat is the key. Most of the land in SD is in private hands, and fields are getting larger, more mono crops, more GMO’s, more roundup, less diversity. Less pheasants, less monarchs, less honeybees.
